“The new chapter of the renewables growth story is a truly global one as their deployment spreads well beyond major markets into every corner of the world.” — Dr. Fatih Birol, Executive Director at the International Energy Agency
#TBT to Nov 2025, when Geothermal Resource Utilisation Technician Justus Nyongesa demonstrated the heated greenhouse to #ShortCourseVIII students at Menengai. Geothermal heat maintains an optimum temperature of 27°C, promoting crop growth & improving agricultural productivity.
#ICYMI: A delegation from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and France visited GDC’s Menengai Geothermal Project on October 28, 2026, to learn about ongoing activities. The visit was part of the KTUF Geothermal Partnership technical session supported by @AFD_France in Naivasha.
The delegation brought together representatives from GDC, @KenGenKenya , Kenya’s @EnergyMinK, @TGDCTanzania, Uganda's @MEMD_Uganda, @Cluster_GEODEEP and its member companies, including Vallourec, CFG, Johnson Screens, AGES and Look Up Geosciences.
